Workaround is to run npm install vscode-uri@3.0.7

Fault location inside wdio-vscode-service with vscode-uri v3.0.8: 'src/server/utils.ts' line 6:

...
const { URI } = (await import('vscode-uri')).default

@tzAcee I tried installing vscode-uri@3.0.7 as a workaround but still getting the same error. Is there anything am I missing?

The workaround did work for me atleast. Can you check whether the version 3.0.7 of vscode-uri is really installed as a dependency by checking the version inside the package.json of the package inside your node_modules folder?

[me-rsharma]

@tzAcee you are right seems the version in package.json file inside node_modules for vscode-uri is still 3.0.8. But I d o have installed vscode-uri@3.0.7 still its not updated here. I did try making it 3.0.7 manually but not working. Any suggestions how can I make this work?

[me-rsharma]

@tzAcee But there are two places where we find vscode-uri - one inside wdio-vscode-service package folder inside node_moduled and another one is vscode-uri package folder itself inside node_modules folder. And strange thing is at one we do getting 3.0.7 but at another place It's still showing 3.0.8

[tzAcee]

mhm no idea really. Maybe try delete your node_modules folder completly and try npm install again.

The code-wise fix for the problem should be very quick & easy. If I find time this weekend for getting wdio-vscode-service built on my system, I can provide a fix.

@tzAcee I tried deleting node_modules and yarn.lock file and then ran yarn to install dependencies but still getting the same error :(
